NI (formerly AWR Corp.) has published a new success story detailing how a University of Alberta, Canada graduate student successfully developed a modified top-of-the-barrier model for graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) using NI AWR Design Environment™/Microwave Office® circuit design software.  

 Remcom, provider of electromagnetic simulation software and solutions, announces public training in Santa Clara, Calif. on August 11-14, 2014. The course will include two-day product tracks on the most recent releases of XFdtd® and Wireless InSite®. Students may choose to attend one or both product tracks. 

Altair has completed its acquisition of 100 percent of EM Software & Systems – S.A. (Pty) Ltd and its international distributor offices in the United States, Germany, and China. This development adds the FEKO^® solver to the HyperWorks^® suite.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that the Agilent EEsof EDA W1462 SystemVue FPGA Architect now supports on-board FPGA design and simulation with the Agilent M9703A AXIe wideband digital receiver/digitizer.  

 Agilent Technologies Inc. announced several innovations for the 2014 release of its industry-leading suite of device modeling and characterization software tools. The suite comprises Agilent EEsof EDA’s Integrated Circuits Characterization and Analysis Program (IC-CAP), Model Builder Program (MBP), and Model Quality Assurance (MQA). 

 Using the electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool, CST STUDIO SUITE®, Kymeta Corp. designs a novel range of lightweight portable antennas for mobile satellite communications. 

 NI (formerly AWR Corporation) has added Korea (September 30) to its list of venues in Asia Pacific as well as finalized the agenda and opened registration for itsJapan venue.  

 Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that its SystemVue 2013.08 Service Pack 1 supports co-simulation with the Questa functional verification platform from Mentor Graphics. System architects and FPGA designers are now able to cross-validate RF and DSP architectures directly, saving research and development time, as well as design iterations in high-performance applications, such as radar and communications. 

Georgios Sklivanitis and Emrecan Demirors with the Software Defined Networks (SDN) Lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering of the State University of New York at Buffalo have won Nutaq's 2014 Software Defined Radio Academic US Contest.

EM Software and Systems releases new solvers in FEKO Suite 7.0 A Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver has been added to its comprehensive set of powerful computational methods as well as the hybridisation of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) with Physical Optics (PO). Three new import file formats are also now available.
